Letters Patent N0.93,160, dated August 3, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN RANKIN ATTACHMENT.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and rnaking part Of heSame- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PARDON Ansrrm, of- Medina, in the county ofOutagamie, and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and improvedFanning-Mill Attachment; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable othersskilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing, forming pai't of this specification.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved arrangement ofelevating-apparatus for fanning-mills, for receiving the grain from thedischarge-apron of the mill, and delivering it into bags or otherreceptacles.

The invention consists in the arrangement of the attaching andoperating-apparatus, to adapt the elevators for attachment to any mill,as hereinafter more fully specified.

Figure 1 represents a longitudinal sectional elevation of my improvedattachment, and a fanning-mill, to which it is applied.

Figure 2 represents a plan view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The elevator-case,A, is suspended from thefanningmill by a cord, B,connected to a hook,-O, thereon, and books 0, on each side of the saidelevator-case, at .the top, and by hooks E, at the bottom, so as to holdthe bottom at the centre of the apron F of the fanningmill, to receivethe grain which is discharged at the said centre, by guides thereon,suitably placed for the purpose.

Motion is imparted to the elevator by a belt, G, from a pulley on thefan-shaft to a similar pulley on the upper shaft of the said elevator,

A tension-bar, H, is connected to the posts I of the fanning-mill frame,on the side to which the drivingpulleys and cord G are placed, and soarranged that one end projects to a point coincident with the axis ofthe upper shaft K of the elevator, and supports the end of the saidshaft. The outer end is also connected by a hook or link, L, to the sideof the elevator-case.

This bar is capable of adjustment longitudinally, and serves to tightenthe driving-belt G, and to support the shaft K properly, and may bereadily detached from the posts I, on which it is supported by recessedcleats, M, which may be fastened readily to the posts of any mill.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The arrangement, with relation to the fanning-mill, the elevator E, andshaft K, of the cord B and adjustable bar H, as herein described, forthe purpose specified.
